Metarungia galpinii is a species of flowering plant in the family Acanthaceae of dicotyledonous flowering plants. It is a shrub endemic to the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. It is the sole species in genus Metarungia.
It has a large, colourful corolla, and is morphologically similar to Anisotes, which is also assumed to be bird-pollinated. It differs mainly in the dehiscence of the fruit capsule, and details of the placenta.
